After many weeks of anticipation, today finally came and the exhibit of the children’s work on the Fancy Dress Project was unveiled! Children hosted a reception for family and friends and guided them through the documentation of the project. The exhibit included photos and sketches made during their field work at the Charleston Museum, the many patterns and fancy clothing models they constructed, many interesting displays relating to what children learned about fashion design, and teacher narratives describing the evolution of the project and what they learned. Visitors were invited to share refreshments, dress up, and enjoy an eclectic musical selection of “found” LP’s- but that’s another story entirely! A more extensive documentation of this project will appear soon on our website –
